president, it's become disturbingly clear that president obama doesn't mind whether or not we drive off the fiscal cliff. just last week, his own treasury secretary, secretary geithner, said the white house was -- quote -- "absolutely" prepared to go off the cliff unless republicans agree to raise marginal tax rates. in other words, during a period of high unemployment -- the highest since the great depression -- the president's willing to risk another recession in order to increase taxes on small businesses and the people we depend upon to create jobs. how much revenue will the president's tax hike generate? well, by raising the top two rates, it would produce only about $68 billion in 2013. i say "only," because in relationship to the gap between how much money the federal government's spending and how much money this would generate, it is relatively small. if we factor in the various stimulus tax expenditures that the president wants to expend, the net revenue falls below $55 billion. again, president obama is so desperate to secure this revenue that he's willing to risk another rece
